Hi! My Name Is Joe Stokes. I am the band teacher here at Lee Junior High. I take great pride in giving students the opportunity of learning how to be musicians and learning to play an instrument. Making the decision to be in band when I was in seventh grade made the greatest impact on my life. Not only did it give me the privilege of learning how to read music and learn a musical instrument, but it gave me a lifetime of great memories and great friends. It also completely paid for my college tuition. Music is something that I am still involved in today, and I will continue to be apart of until my final days. As with all things in life, you get what you put in and band is not any different!
